LIV Golf has announced today, surprisingly, the first transfer window during the season. From now until Sunday, June 9, teams can freely negotiate player exchanges. It is a clear attempt to foster rivalry between teams and get fans hooked with comings and goings.
What in football is called the winter market as it takes place in January, LIV launches it in the middle of its season and with the idea of giving teams the opportunity to improve their squads during the year. It is surprising, however, that the start of this market is today, the day of the announcement of the news.
In a transfer, both teams must agree with the exchange and in this window, no modifications can be made to the players’ contracts. In a certain NBA style in which the players’ word seems to count little. Behind the scenes, one imagines that perhaps the scenario is a bit different.
We must not forget that the transfer of players at the end of the season already existed. For example, David Puig moved from Torque to sign for the Fireballs of Sergio García. With this novelty, LIV opens up the possibility that these exchanges take place during the same season.
In addition, LIV has also announced that players in the last year of their contract can negotiate an extension with their current team during this window.
